Richard Hammond: Unlikely Sex Symbol
I’ve now seen Richard Hammond’s horrific rocket car crash on Top Gear, as well as his comments on the experience in this interview. (Unfortunately, YouTube has taken down the crash video, so I can’t link to it).
And I’ve decided that Richard Hammond is quite decidedly sexy.
Now, I’m not normally one for revheads, but perhaps that’s because they’re either sporting a mullet or playing nasty rap music at 300 decibels. The Hamster may love cars, but he’s also… cute.
I mean, look at how short, tousled and mischievous he is. And he’s got a lovely sense of humour.
And anyone who can emerge from a brain-damaging 288 mph crash with only a new taste for celery is obviously someone worth admiring.
Seems I’m not alone in my admiration – the crash episode of Top Gear beat the final of Big Brother in the UK. Eight million people watched it.
And someone even asked Yahoo Answers if they were strange for thinking he was sexy.

Oooh we so love Top Gear! My darling calls it the Myth Busters of the car world.

It’s a great show, I can happily watch it even though I am not into cars. And yep, it definitely has that Mythbusters vibe.

I have a secret fetish for James May. One hopes there is a reason they call him “Captain Slow.”
